“If you are not holding down a little church merely until you get a big one, but really care for people, at least as much as you care for your own life and children, then you must convey to them a real awareness that you are interested in their problems. If you are not interested in the problems of sincere, ongoing Christians you ought not to be in the work of ministry at all” (p42).
